The British Virgin Islands consist of the main islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke, as well as a few smaller islands located in the West Indies, next to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Once an ideal pirate hideout, this place quickly became a little piece of paradise for many tourists. The four islands offer several activities to make your stay most inviting.
What would a trip to the British Virgin Islands be without visiting one of its beautiful beaches? Whether you go on the beaches of Cane Garden Bay, White Bay, The Baths, Necker Island or Guana, you will be mesmerized by the natural beauty of this tropical escape. Choose a beach, have your swimsuit ready and simply sunbathe in style or enjoy a walk to the nearby small shops.
The capital of the British Virgin Islands, Road Town, is located on the island of Tortola.
